MAC Connect In Colour Unfiltered Nudes Eyeshadow Palette | In-Depth Review

Swatches. Comparisons. Thoughts: Are MAC eyeshadows still good in 2023? Let's see in this review of MAC's 12-pan neutral palette after 3 months of testing. I've tried this MAC cosmetics Connect in Colour Unfiltered Nudes eyeshadow palette with multiple primers, brushes, and application techniques to see how it works best. Will these eyeshadows work for you?

V i d e o s u m m a r y:
MAC’s Connect in Colour eyeshadow palettes have arrived. The nude palette in the lineup is called “Unfiltered Nudes”. Find out about the colors, textures, and finishes and how they perform based on their pigmentation, blendability, and longevity.
Spoiler alert: This MAC eyeshadow palette is a neutral lover's dream, but the longevity of most of the shimmer shades was abysmal on my oily eyelids. The translucent shimmers gave me the best results with a solid 5 hours without creasing. But some of the other shimmers (I'm looking at you, "Internet Star") creased dramatically before I was even finished applying my makeup for the day. And it didn't matter what primer, brushes, or application techniques I used. The mattes were fine, fading slightly but evenly throughout the day, giving me 8 hours of wear.

How does one develop a sense of style? And how can we do it sustainably – both financially and environmentally? By enjoying and creatively using what we already have. By streamlining those things with thoughtful declutters. By developing awareness of how we use our stuff to encourage wiser decisions about the cosmetics, clothing and any other items we purchase. Sounds simple, but it's easier said than done. I've certainly been stumbling my way through it – let's stumble in style together!
